00:00A quote-unquote policy of starvation in northern Gaza would be horrific and unacceptable and would have implications under international law and U.S. law.
00:13The government of Israel has said that this is not their policy, that food and other essential supplies will not be cut off,
00:21and we will be watching to see that Israel's actions on the ground match this statement.
00:29Colleagues, this weekend, like so many of you, like so many people around the world,
00:35I watched in horror as images from central Gaza poured across my screen.
00:41Images of what appeared to be displaced civilians burning alive following an Israeli airstrike.
00:49There are no words, simply no words, to describe what we saw.
00:55Israel has a responsibility to do everything possible to avoid civilian casualties,
01:01even if Hamas was operating near the hospital in an attempt to use civilians as human shields.
01:09We've made this clear to Israel, just as we've made clear to the Israeli government at the highest levels
01:16that it must do more to address the intolerable and catastrophic humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
